"North Korean troops arrive in Russian region occupied by Ukraine"
By Matthew Sedacca
"Thousands of North Korean troops have arrived in Kursk, the western Russian province partly occupied by Ukraine, ahead of an expected counteroffensive by Moscow.
Soldiers from an elite unit of the Korean People’s Army dispatched to the region have not started fighting alongside Russian troops, but officials predicted they would help in an anticipated campaign aimed at driving out Ukrainian forces, who seized about 400 square miles of territory in Kursk in a surprise August incursion, officials told The New York Times.
The soldiers’ dispatch to Kursk, with the first arriving Wednesday, came after Ukraine and South Korea warned for weeks that North Korean forces were training alongside Russian soldiers, with Ukraine estimating as many as 12,000 troops are involved. "
Mutual defense agreement in action? Or they want SK in Ukr?
